In 6u34 and 7u6 and earlier versions of java there were security holes which were and are exploited in the wild by criminals. "Due to the severity of these vulnerabilities, the public disclosure of technical details and the reported exploitation of CVE-2012-4681 "in the wild," Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply the updates provided by this Security Alert as soon as possible", http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alert-cve-2012-4681-1835715.html.

Next I need to try and see if MineCraft will
function in this environment. My Grandson
is hooked on MineCraft and I'm striving to
set it up in Puppy to enable him to break
away from Windows. I'll report back as soon
as we try it...

My Grandson's computer is a Sony Vaio
VGCRB30 model (3.0 GHz P4, 2 GB RAM)
and SolidPup plus Shinobar's jre installed
work well up to a point. Running Minecraft
in java brings up the login page ok, but for
some reason the login will not accept any
input from the keyboard.

Would anyone have any idea why this is
so? Is it a hardware incompatibility?

We've also tried in on a Dell GX260 with
SolidPup and jre and it works completely;
login is successful and the game begins.
Unfortunately this machine only has
512 MB of RAM so it is very, very sluggish.
Once we upgrade RAM to a sufficient level
perhaps it will do what we want.

This is our first attempt to install and use
java for any application so it is a rather
exciting adventure.

Thanks @Shinobar. You've helpted the community with JRE over the years.

I, too, need the JDK, if you could help by providing it. Specifically for Slacko 5.6+ (32bit) and/or FATDOG-LightHouse64 (64bit)

Thanks in advance, if you can help._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Q5sys. Thanks. I saw that Lighthouse 602 UPDATE to ...40 version several weeks ago. But a JDK has not arrived in its PPM as a PET for installation in Lighthouse.

Hope this post helps others.

BTW, this is the wrong thread for OpenJDK/OpenJRE discussion. Shinobar has ONLY provided us with SUN's version for 32bit thus far.

But, thanks for trying to help._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!
